Fate

Here I am, taking a big step in life. Being second and average is what I am and I'm proud of it. I can dream big but it is just a dream. What I get is great for someone else but I'm blind and tend to be greater than what I am. Now that I realise to accept my loving self, I see people who are less fortunate than I am. Realising this, I hope the best for people less great, greater and as great as I am.

Maybe I don't get to study A-level at KYUEM and go to UK but I know I get something better for myself. And I'm grateful to Allah SWT for that.

JPA Scholarship Interview

Hi everyone, I am going to share my experience for the JPA Scholarship Assessment. This year the JPA scholarship only offer engineering course in Korea, Japan, Germany and France. And this year, a student can only choose one between MARA, JPA and JPA-MARA. Why did I choose JPA even though I'm a bumiputera, easy, I missed the deadline for the other two. It's really devastated at first because my friends insisted that it's hard to get the scholarship as I had to compete with the non-bumiputera but then, I realised this is my destiny from Allah SWT and accepted it with open heart.

So, for the JPA Scholarship, I choose to futher my studies in Korea. Yes, it's because I love Kpop (SS501).

So, I get my invitation to the SAC (they didn't call it a interview) by checking into the website. Note down that you need to check the website yourself, not wait for a call or letter. My SAC is held at Kolej Komuniti Pasir Mas,  an hour away from my home. The SAC started at 10 am and the applicants are required to wear a white t-shirt, a track trouser and sport shoes(just for uniformity, don't worry they didn't told us to do any physical test).

So, I arrived 15 minute early. I register and was given a number card. We need to wear the number all the time. I got the lucky 27. There was about 20 applicants that session (there will be an evening session that day).

We made some little exercise to ease our nerves. Then, we were split into a team of 5 or 4. 2 teams were put in 1 group where the two group will go to either Bahasa Melayu or English session first. 

My group went to the English session first at a classroom. And there was 2 interviewer. So, the group activity is we were given a topic. The topic I got is about 'Excellent Graduates'. The other team got 'Soft-Skill' topic. So we got about 20 minute to discuss. I may say that the interviewer didn't care about the time and waited us to finish. We wrote down our ideas on a 'mahjong' paper and present it. My tips is practice your ideas during the discussion. My presentation was short. There was only one question asked. And if your teammates choked, feel free to explain again to the interviewer but make it sound not too cruel (because you are clearly stealing your teammate's point). After the other team's presentation, the interviewer asked some people to do some exercise where they were asked to act like salesmen, trying to sell their stuff. Feel free to volunteer to try to do that too.

Next, my group went to the Bahasa Melayu session. The activity was the same as the English session. But this session was much more difficult where the time given for discussion is limited. And after the presentation, they asked your team tons of questions (even irrelevant one and their opinions always changed). My tips is the prepare yourself for any questions ( if you create a product or technology for your presentation, think out the cost and time needed to finish your imaginary product) and always be confident on your answer ( don't say "I think/Saya rasa", instead use "I am confident/Saya yakin" or "I would/Saya akan").

2 hours went by so fast. I went home, sleeping at the back of the car, knowing that I did the best as I could.

Since its already 2 months after the SAC, the result would be announced on 24 April at 5 pm. And,,,,, I got the scholarship. I don't know the details on which country did I get or more inportantly which course. The website told me to check e-penawaran on 6 May. I was hoping to get to do A-level at KYUEM. Insyaallah. Hope the best from me.

My SPM 2014 results

I have received my SPM result two months ago. Before getting to the main point which is how many A's did I get, let me tell you about the 3 March morning.

The result would not be announced until 10 am and I know my school would announced it by 11.30 am. So, I am determined to go to school as late as I can but my father had to go to his school and that's mean I need to go there as early as I can. My dad left me at school at 9.30. Yes, "left me". I was probably tthe 3rd earliest student arrived at school. I tried to call my friend to come here as early as possible.

"Fast fowarding"

The school hall was filled with people. By 10 am, I knew we can check our result by SMS. Some people wouldn't do so because they said it's a spoiler but I am not that some people. So, I sent it. About 10.20 am, I got my message. It viewed 8A+1A-. 8A+ seems unrealistic to me. I told my closest friend and told her to not anyone because it might be some kind of a mistake.

At about 11.30 am, the results had been announced. My school had 1 student getting 9A+ and 14 students getting straight As (9As). But our GCPA decreased. And we got a few people failing some subject which is very devastating. Finally, we got to know who got straight A by the names called to the stage. First, they gave an honour to the only student who got straight A+ but she wasn't at school as she recieve an award at Kuala Terengganu. My name was third to be called after a boy name. It's true that I got 8A+1A-. I believe that my name shocked some people as I am not the school target to get that much A+.

"Flashback" It was a parents meeting where the school revealed my SPM target based on my exam performance in Form 4 and the TOV exam. Guess what? I was expected to get about 4A 2B 3C which devastated me.

Now I proved them wrong. I was like the principal did not even know of my existent and now, I am the 3rd best student in our school.

Then, I remembered that this is all rezeki from Allah SWT. And I couldn't be thankful enough.

The rest of the afternoon went by me saying thank you to my teachers and me begging my friends to send me home.

That's all for now. For some of you who curious what did I get for A-, it's Physics.

New blog is here !

Greetings fellow reader if I had one.

About 4 years since I left blogging, I am back. Why? For the 4 years, I have been busy studying for PMR and SPM. Now that I have 1 more month to future my studies in university, I was hoping this blog can make me occupied from being homesick. Moreover, I have been stressing out lately and I relived my stress by reading blogs.

This blog is about:

1) My life as a growing 18 years old girl

2) My college life

3) Personal tips on life

4) Triple S (my life of being a SS501 fan and some other Kpop group )

5) Some other stuff

So, feel free to comment.

Good bye for now. New post coming right up.
